Halo and Azur Lane doesn't belong to me
The sky was filled with Sakura Empire planes, the girls from Azur Lane was busy repelling the incoming attack. But they were overwhelmed by the quantity of the planes...
"Damn, we have to retreat, Columbia retreat. Take cover." Cleveland yelled as she waited for her sister to duck into cover. Just in time to dodge an incoming attack from an Aichi dive bomber...
("That was close") Columbia thought as she panted heavily.
Cleveland run to cover aside from Columbia. "This is taking so long. At this rate we will be overrun." She said as she fired her main guns. "Maybe, if we find their carriers we can dissipate their attention from the rest of the fleet." Columbia manage to say as she kept panting.
"Perhaps. But we have to deal with the planes of this area. Or we're not going to get close." Cleveland state as she kept firing to repel the incoming attacks. ("This is not right, why concentrate most of their resources in this sector.") Cleveland thought as she observed the large amount of planes keeping them in place. Unable to move and help the other girls.
"Cleveland!" Montpelier yelled as she approached her sisters. "We lost the shore sector for a moment. But the enemy retreated after we send reinforcements." Strange, when Crimson Axis takes a sector they hold it. Why take it just to abandon it without a fight. Too much coincidence...
Before they could say something they saw an incoming attack of Torpedo bombers. Too many for one cruiser. So they take aim and shoot all together. "Destroy the planes. Before they reach their drop range." Cleveland said while they began to shoot. But she didn't notice another bomber run, thus time with more Aichi dive bombers, but also Ju-87C.
"What the hell! Everyone dodge the bombers. Columbia c'mon." Cleveland yelled to her sisters and barely dodge the bombs. But one manage to hit her sending her flying a few meters. Stunned and her head ringing. She couldn't hear her sisters warnings. ("Ah... That hurts.") She was getting up, still stunned. She didn't saw that the Torpedo bombers were aiming at her now...
"Cleveland move. Their going after you. Cleveland!" Columbia yelled to her sister but Cleveland couldn't hear. She and Montpelier shoot at many Torpedo bombers as they could. But they still were too many to destroy them in time.
"Cleveland. Move!" This time Montpelier Yelled. Watching how her sister was getting up slowly. But she couldn't move to cover Cleveland because Columbia got hit during the bombing run.
Cleveland watched explosions in front of her. She recover from being stunned and deaf momentarily. Just in time to hear her sisters yelling at her to dodge. But the torpedo bombers were too close to dodge now. "Shit" She said as she tried to shoot too. But her guns we jammed by the bomb that hit her.
Before the torpedo bombers could drop they payload, yellow arrows destroyed them. As well as AA and artillery shells. Cleveland look around to see her saviors. And saw Enterprise, Birmingham and Denver coming at her. "Are you alright Cleveland?" Enterprise asked as she approached her.
At first, she was amazed by how easy they shut down the planes. But Cleveland quickly regain her posture. "Yeah. Thanks for the help. Enterprise." She heard a 'hmm coming from behind Enterprise just to see Denver glaring at her. "Thanks to all of you" Said Cleveland with her gaze meeting her sisters eyes.
"They wasted too many planes in here. The must be up to something." Enterprise wondered seeing how many planes were sent here. Just to keep busy the Cleveland sisters. "I thought the same Enterprise. But, for what purpose Crimson Axis would do that? Also Montpelier said they took the shore sector just to abandon it after our reinforcements arrived."
Just then it hit in Cleveland head. They were going after the new Kansens. The alien ones. But they also were attacking other parts of the base. So, they use it the most part of the attack to infiltrate the base. ("Clever. We would be busy repelling the attack from their Carriers and surface vessels. While a small team infiltrate the base and take down our futuristic guests.") Cleveland thought while she make a surprised face
"You thinking the same do you?" Enterprise said to Cleveland seeing how the light cruiser make such a funny face. "They're going after the Alien Kansen. We must stop them Enterprise. They are still recovering." Cleveland said now with determination in her voice. "Go, I'm going to stay for a bit." Enterprise words make Cleveland give her a confused look. She was about to ask before she saw pair of incoming shippgirls. And they weren't from Azur Lane
"We meet again Grey ghost." Zuikaku said as approached with her sister. With her sister Shokaku by her side. The Sakura girls stopped a few meters from the Eagle Union girls. Both groups exchanged glances. Waiting for the other to make the first move. But before the hell started again Enterprise stepped forward. "We know your plans. You going for the UNSC ships do you?" Enterprise asked. Not waiting for a reply. She shoot an arrow at the Crane sisters.
With a swift movement of her sword Zuikaku destroyed the arrow before it could deal damage. But this was a distraction as she saw an more arrows coming at her and her sister. "Don't wait for me. Go help our guests." Enterprise ordered to Cleveland. Not waiting for her to reply she turned to fire more arrows at the Crane sisters. While she approached them... Cleveland turned to her sisters. And began to depart to the shore of the base. Perhaps Enterprise can deal with the Crane sisters without help.
"C'mon Grey ghost. I thought you would be more lethal. Given your reputation." Zuikaku said as she keep attacking Enterprise but Enterprise kept dodging and blocking her attacks while she fired arrows at her. Some becoming her own planes others just kept being projectiles to hit Zuikaku...
"You talk too much for a warrior. Weren't you the one that claim to be the only who can sink me?" Enterprise taunted Zuikaku. This proves to work as Zuikaku intensified her attacks. All of this as her sister kept launching planes. Some to attack Enterprise others to attack the base. But Enterprise keep. Dodging and blocking. Until she got cornered against a rock. Zuikaku smirked at this. She approached Enterprise slowly. Glaring at her with fury eyes...
"There's no where to run Enterprise. Your life and legend ends here Grey ghost!" Zuikaku yelled before leap towards Enterprise sword in hand. She prepares herself to cut Enterprise in half but a bomb hits her before she could reach Enterprise. She hits the water at high speed
. She only manage to cut some hair from Enterprise.
"Zuikaku!." Shokaku screamed her sister's name. But she remained on the water. She shots a cold fury glare at Enterprise and launch more planes to attack Enterprise. But they got shut down by incoming Hellcats. "What?" Shokaku asked surprised that her planes got shut down so quick. She turned to see from where the planes come from. "Don't mind if I join?" A blonde with green eyes and a quite revealing outfit said.
"Hornet. You're on time." Enterprise said to her sister as she moved from the rock and join her sister. "You know me. I like a badass entrance." She said to her sister as both glanced at the remaining Sakura Carrier. "We don't have to do this Shokaku. Surrender and you will be treated politely." Enterprise stated, hoping the Sakura Carrier cooperate. But she kept glancing with cold fury at them.
"I don't think she want to surrender. I think we shou-" Before she finish her sentence she saw how Zuikaku jumped at Enterprise making both fall. "Grey ghost! We're not done yet." Zuikaku said as she began to punch Enterprise. Hornet was about to interfere when she saw more incoming planes of Shokaku. "I'll handle glancies. You take care of your number one fan." Hornet joked as she dodged and launched her own planes to counterattack.
"I'm not her fan. We're enemies!" Zuikaku yelled with a deep blush on her face. Trying to bring back the seriousness of the situation
This only make Hornet smirk. Shokaku couldn't hold it and also smirked at her little sister embarrassment. Zuikaku was about to hit Enterprise again but she saw how she smirked at her blush too. This only make her angry. "What's so funny?" Said Zuikaku before launching another punch at Enterprise face. This time Enterprise blocked and manage to take Zuikaku off her.
"That was hilarious." Said Enterprise now looking down at Zuikaku. Bow on hand. Zuikaku look at Enterprise and she closes her eyes waiting for her to end her life. Then she heard a ricochet. She opened her eyes to see Enterprise dodging the incoming projectiles from another shipgirl. She didn't loose time and got up. She began to look for her sword, she didn't saw where it landed before the bomb hit her.
"Oh my, that was amusing to see." Prinz Eugen said as she stopped shooting. She waited there for a few seconds before her sister Hipper arrived. "Eugen, we must regroup with the Crane sisters then leave. What are you doing?" Hipper said with discomfort on her coice. She didn't want to stay more time than need.
"Langsame Schwester. Don't you see they're playing with 2 famous Eagle Union carriers?" Eugen teased but this only make her sister released a 'huh' in response.
"What are you talking about IronBlood?" Shokaku asked before anyone else said something. "We've been ordered by Akagi to retrieve you from your sector. And move to destroy another strategic target." Eugen said not caring for the Eagle Union Carriers.
Shokaku and Zuikaku glanced at each other. Not waiting for a reaction of their enemies they move as told. While Eugen and Hipper shoot a barrage to cover their retreat. "See you again Azur Lane." Eugen said as they sailed fast and bypass a rock. That covered them from any attacks.
"We have to go after them." Enterprise said as she began to chase them. Hornet followed suit. They sail to not loose their tracks. But they were far behind them. "Dammit. Should we launch our planes, that way we can block their way." Hornet suggested. Paying low attention to the number of planes she had on reserve.
"I've lost half of my hangar on that fight. I bet you have almost the same number of planes as me" Enterprise stated. Hornet couldn't say otherwise. "If we just chase them. What are we going to do? We're Carriers we cannot engage them on close quarters Enterprise." Hornet said with a hint of anger.
"You're not wrong Hornet. But we don't have to do that." Enterprise said with confidence. This make Hornet shot a confused look at her. "What we do then?" Hornet asked to her sister. As they were closing the distance with the Crimson Axis. "We just have to keep them tracked. And the girls fighting on other sectors can block their way. Also I already radioed their intentions. So we just have to wait for our opportunity window." Enterprise said as she kept sailing close to her sister.
"Aah-" Hornet was about to say something but decide against it. She only nodded and kept sailing with her sister. Both kept sailing behind the enemy, after a while they reach the shore were Cleveland and her sisters were having a bad time fighting the Crimson Axis massive production vessels. Thanks to Enterprise warnings more Azur Lane girls arrived to reinforce the defense.
"C'mon don't give up now. Keep them in line!" South Dakota commanded as she fired her main guns destroying a Bishop cruiser. She didn't celebrate her kill because she dodged an incoming barrage from another cruiser. All of this while Enterprise and Hornet kept sailing towards the Crimson girls. Seeing this Prince of Wales shoot a barrage destroying the most proximate cruisers to them.
The Crane sisters and Hipper sisters realize they were surrounded now. And become to a halt. The Azur Lane girls raised their guns pointing at them. Enterprise and Hornet behind them covering the rear. They couldn't scape, not without casualties. "Eugen. I thought we were going to regroup with the rest of the fleet. I didn't know being trapped was part of the plan!" Hipper yelled wanting an explanation. But Eugen only smirked and closed her eyes before speak.
"Well, well. You got us Azur Lane." Eugen said raising her hands and retracting her guns. Shokaku, Zuikaku and Hipper turn to Eugen. Their mouths open but no words came. Without asking anything more the rest did the same. The Azur Lane girls glanced in disbelief. It was that easy, but where was the rest of the Crimson fleet?
"C'mon Eugen. What's the catch?" Wales asked while keep aiming at them. "Huh? There's no catch, we've been trapped and we're surrendering." Eugen said in her teasing voice. This only make things more confusing. IronBlood and Sakura Empire weren't known for surrender in any situation. Usually they fight to the bitter end.
"Is that it?" Columbia asked as she approached Cleveland to verify this. "I guess. But look at the cruisers they still are there. Just waiting." Cleveland replied. Getting a bad felling about this outcome.
Before they could apprehend the Crimson girls they heard a loud sound coming from above. When they look at the sky their faces filled with terror. The sky was filled with enemy planes. More than you can count at eyesight.
The dive bombers began their attack speeding up towards the Azur Lane forces. They began to shoot at the planes. But there was to many. Seeing their opportunity Eugen lead her sister and company to another location. Using the distraction they sneak out of the Azur Lane girls. After they left the cruisers continue their fire upon the defensive forces.
"Girls look out!" Hornet yelled as the first barrage of the cruisers hit the water a few meters from her causing a big splash. The rest of the girls began to dodge and shoot at the planes. It was difficult, but they have to. Not just to defend the base but to save their lives.
After a few minutes of this most of the girls were tired. And the ammo was low. But the planes kept coming.
"They keep sending planes!" Columbia shouted as she release a barrage shooting down an squad of Torpedo bombers just in time before they attacked Enterprise.
But, before more planes came they saw how the planes stopped their attack. The planes returned to their carriers whom were approaching the group of Azur Lane. Two figures one red and the other blue. Both walking calmly, not caring for the group of enemy shipgirls. Almost as if they weren't a threat for them.
"I came to fight warriors. But I don't see any of that here." Akagi said while she glanced at her sister "Don't you think Kaga~?" Akagi asked with a smirk
"Mmm... You're right sister. There's nothing like that in here. We should end their pathetic lives now!" KAGA shouted and readied her deck to send more planes but she was stopped by her sister who placed a hand on her shoulder and looked amused by her action "Now, now. There's no need to end this quick. Remember we came for another reason too~" Akagi said her face showed a light blush as her eyes seemed to ignite with pure fire.
KAGA glanced for a second to her sister then shut her eyes nodding to her sister words. "Right, I almost forgot the other reason." Said KAGA calming her urge to finish her enemies.
The Azur Lane group seemed confused at hearing this. Well most of them, because Enterprise, Hornet and Cleveland knew what was the other reason. The tension was palpable for them as they thought of what the Crimson Axis could do with the UNSC Kansen and Super soldier. Both groups stared at each other before someone else broke the silence...
"Genuv von der Spannung. We came for the 'Aliens' you found." Said Eugen with Hipper and company approaching the Azur Lane group. They stopped aside from KAGA and Akagi. Glancing at the other group too.
At hearing this the rest of the Azur Lane girls knew what Akagi meant. But before anyone could ask more questions they heard an explosion a big one. They all turned in the direction of the sound. They saw the explosion was coming from the top floor of the medical bay. The explosion destroyed the corner of the building and send debris in all directions but it wasn't the only thing it send flying. In the debris that was falling to the ground they saw two figures falling with the debris.
"What is that... Lord Bismarck! And-" Hipper couldn't identify the other person whom was falling with Bismarck but she could see it was covered in some strange armor. It looked like a robot but she saw how it was struggling with Bismarck while they fall...
"Well. Sems like we found what we were looking for. Ufufu." Said Eugen in her usual teasing tone. Wishing she could see the result of that fight...
As much as you all do xD. So here we are, returning. More or less hehe. So, next chapter will be done in this week. I cannot say a day because you know me, but I can say in this week. So I can finally end the attack on Pearl Harbor. So tell me what you think. I know I don't like to ask for reviews. But in that way I can see how can I improve, and see your ideas. Remember that I used some of your ideas like adding Savannah and Pillar of Autumn. Just don't say like bring the chief or something that crazy that wouldn't be good no bueno xD. Also ping any grammar and spelling errors. I guess that's it. Farewell and... It's good to be back :D
